Unique Ways to Display Your Best Photographic Work

When thinking about how to display your best work, you probably think of your portfolio, framed wall prints, or a web site. But have you ever considered displaying your best photographic work on your wall? I do not mean as a print on your wall, but on your entire wall. Making a custom wall mural out of your digital photography is a great way to display your work to advertize your skills, to impress people, or to simply gain more enjoyment out of it.

Turning your digital images into a wall mural is easier than you would think. Advancements in large format printing technology have made it affordable to create custom wallpaper out of your own digital images. All you have to do is send your image to a large format printer and they will send you your custom wallpaper. A six megapixel picture can easily be expanded to fill an entire wall.

Creating wall murals out of your photographs opens up so many possibilities. Think about using nature scenes or landscapes you have photographed as a mural for your bedroom wall. Or how about using your beach pictures in your bathroom? Custom wallpaper is as durable as the store-bought paper and uses non-fading inks. So you will not have to worry about the quality of your work deteriorating when it is on your wall. Also, not only can you get your work turned into standard wallpaper, you can get it turned into vinyl wallpaper that is repositionable as well. This means you can switch scenes or images at will, making your decorations easily customizable.

You can use custom wallpaper on more than just your home. Decorating the walls of your studio with your work is sure to impress your clients. Seeing your work at this scale will give a sense of weight and importance to your images. Displaying your photographs in this way is so unique it will set you apart from your competition as well.

It is not just photographs that can be turned into wall art. Graphic designers can use their work to create wall murals as well. All you have to do is make sure the image can be scaled up without becoming distorted. Vector images work great for this application. You can even combine graphic designs with photographs to make the ultimate wall mural.

So the next time you pull out you camera, keep your walls in mind. Think about what you would like to see on your walls large as life. Knowing it is possible to make a custom wall mural, you will begin to see opportunities to take photographs for them everywhere.
